Quoted By:
The remaining 266th Dusteaters report that they've optimised our supply operations as best as able, recovered scavenge from the field *and* gone over that checkpoint the Wasponi were impersonating a House in. They had several carts there, with tools and equipment. We've incorpored those and distributed it as needed.
The Pathfinders have a working theory, but they'll need to confirm it.

The critical triage moments of a battle is the ten years before and the ten minutes after. With the sizable presence of our Chemicaes at the field, the Pyrewatchers and the standards, and the enemy withdrawing en masse, at speed, recovery of the wounded is much, much easier than in Windchime Pass.
Captain Bannerleader, Part Time, Jabko also authorises the release of the scant few bandages, sterilizers, painkillers and herbs remaining in Howlhammer. The Wasponi have been fierce, but starving. They rounded up most of the material in the first two days then shipped it elsewhere. The Pathfinders report that yes, this is part of their theory too.
Are any of you good with maps?

With a Command Station in Sheepwoe and total local superiority in the southern section, we probe. We plan. We scout. The Wasponi have withdrawn across the Spanway, except for one whole squadron acting the rearguard.

>You're reformed! Cohesion restored!
>All officers may take one influence and one affiliation action, as standard.
>The Pathfinders request assistance with some Intelligence Analysis. The facts of the matter are as follows:
*Light Wasponi cavalry have crossed the mountains using an unknown pass
*They have taken over the region, and are rounding up supplies
*They are poisoning wells and local reservoirs with a low level psychoactive dose of a narcotic meant to kill memories, so as to make the locals more suceptible to Sparkspeaker propaganda
*Despite the planning of these actions AND the securing of supplies from towns and outlying reaches, the Sparkhooves are simultaneously burning fields and destroying infrastructure. Also, why poison wells when your troops are clearly in dire need of water too?
*Logically, the supplies being rounded up are *not* going to the Wasponi.
To assist, test Affiliation (as an action) and posit a theory, drawing on available information. Your guesstimates assist the Pathfinders and represent a longer investigation; which may reveal useful information.

A few Rebus Pathfinders thank you for clearing the path to the Fideli Gates, west. They're taking the captive Sparkspeaker and moving him now, while the situation
remains fluid. Speaking as representatives of Legion High - Remain on task, secure the region, and await further orders by rapid courier.
